SUSPENSORY.

Application filed July 23,

To all wko/m, t may concern.'

Be it known that I, Lnwls FnrrsoH, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Suspensory, of which the following is a specifica tion.

An object of my invention is to provide washable suspensory of the type shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the use of metal parts and the consequent rusting thereof are: eliminated.

Another object is to provide suspensory wherein the parts of the device can be readily and easily disassociated so as not to subject to the water, those parts that are injuriously affected by water.

Another object is to provide a device that is readily adjustable and wherein the adjustable parts serve the additional function of retaining the device upon the wearer.

Another object is to eliminate several of the steps which up to this time have been resorted to in the manufacture of such devices.

'Ihese and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which- F ig. l is a perspective view of a device embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view on line 2 2 of Fig. l.

The pouch a is made of some washable material or fabric and has its upper edge turned down upon and hemmed upon itself, whereby a loop or way a is formed along its upper edge or waist band through which way removably extends the fiat leather strap a2 having an elongated slot a3 in one end thereof and a perforation 0L4 in its other end. The perforation at is of such size that the head a5 of the bone button a may be inserted therethrough. The slot a3 is made of a length substantially equal to the width of the single strip o-f elastic webbing al eX- tending therethrough. The elastic webbing has a series of slits or button holes as formed in its ends, through which the head 'of the button a may be inserted. The pouch has mounted upon its lower extremity a loop fr of tape or other suitable material, having the same sides of its opposite ends secured upon opposite sides of the fabric. The tape loop a9 therefore will lie` fiat and have its 1921. Serial No. 487,007.

surfaces in substantial alignment with the surfaces of the pouch. One portion of the elastic webbing strip al forms a waist band extending between the opposite ends of the leather'strap a2 and the other portion of the webbing forms a retaining member for the lower end of the pouch, and extends between the ends of the. leather strap, assuming a position over the lower portion of the buttock of the wearer and extending through the tape loop a9.

The device is assembled in the following manner. The head of the button a is inserted in one end of the webbing and is then inserted in the perforation in the leather strap. The strap is threaded through the way formed along the upper end of the pouch and the free end of the webbing is threaded through the tape loop and through the elongated slot in the leather strap, and said end is then secured upon the button by inserting the head of such button through one of the slits in the elastic webbing. rIhe button is inserted in the appropriate slot to give the webbing the proper length to cause the wearer no inconvenience. The length of the two portions of the webbing can be readily adjusted by threading same through the elongated slot in the leather belt and by passing the button through the slits giving the proper adjustments to the webbing.

What I claim is:

l. An article of suspensory comprising a pouch having a waist handhaving a slot at one of its ends, a loo-p extending from the lower end of the pouch, and webbing extending through the slot in the waist band and through the loop and having its ends secured upon the opposite end of the waist band.

2. An article of suspensory comprising a pouch having a waist band, the ends of which are slotted, a loop extending from the lower end of the pouch, webbing extending through one of the slots in the waist band and through the loop, and a button extending through the other slot in the waist band and upon which the ends of the webhing are mounted.

3. An article of suspensory comprising a pouch having loops formed at its upper and lower ends, a strap extending through the loopformed lat the upper end of the pouch and having a slot in one of its ends, and webbing extending through the slot in the strap and through the loop at the lower end of the pouch and having its ends mounty ed upon the other end of the strap.

webbing having its ends mounted upon the 10 button and being threaded through the other perforationin the strap and through the loop at the lower end of the pouch.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 20th day of July, 15
